Never before has a place in Toronto felt more like New York. And in the Junction, no less. The slim space (that you’d miss if they didn’t kindly put a sandwich board outside announcing their presence) pushes you to squeeze by the long bar and lean in close to hear one another. There’s nothing sexier than that.

Join Junction locals for Caesars and craft beer at this hidden gem. It’s tucked away from the busy street. Plus, the stained glass windows and exposed brick of this intimate watering hole bring warmth to a snug, inviting space. Stop in for an after-work cocktail and enjoy standard pub fare and comfort food while listening to live music from west Toronto bands.

This Junction gem is a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it watering hole with a carefully curated dinner and drinks menu. Canadian crafts line the taps and made-from-scratch offerings stream steadily from the kitchen, including cheeseburgers, braised lamb and buck-a-shuck oysters. But the space itself is the star of the show: long and narrow with brick walls and high ceilings, it oozes coziness, especially near the back, where nearly every night of the week you’ll hear live music playing from the stage.
